In addition to *minimal-emacs.d*, startup speed is influenced by your computer's processing power and disk speed. To establish a baseline, start Emacs with only *minimal-emacs.d* and no additional configurations, then run `M-x emacs-init-time`. Incrementally modify your init files and observe the impact on startup time. For consistent comparisons, always test on the same computer and Emacs version. It's also important to ensure that all packages are deferred using `:defer t` and `:commands`, which makes Emacs load them only when needed (see additional examples in this README.md). While startup time is important, other factors, like native compilation, are even more important. Although native compilation may introduce some brief initial and negligible initial delay, it is beneficial in the long run as it significantly speeds up Emacs.
